    That's cool that he's going over to meet the children that make his shoes.

    It does have the offending tweet.

    @SpecialOlympics @ESPYS @Dame_Lillard that could take awhile, this guy looks easily distracted

    My boss just had the Adidas CEO over to his house. I sent this along to my boss to pass on to the CEO.... I'm just curious to get any info of what they really think of Dame (and how proud they are to have him on their side). I figure I'll get some insight into how involved the home base really is into the happenings of the US side of the business.

    nah Sly, you need to include Dame in that "you people" there. Usually I think you're one of the funniest people on the board but this one deserved the long cane pulling the comedian off the stage while the crowd boos away

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I thought Sly's joke was edgy and largely harmless. I wasn't booing him off the stage.

    There's the cynical side of me that goes "Really, this has to be all PR stunts... his PR team telling him to do this and that" But when it keeps happening once or twice a week, on his own accord... it's really damn cool. I think he's totally legit in all that he does. Mad props.

    Even if it's PR, it still helps people and frankly I'd rather have good PR like Special Olympics than nanny rapers.

    Amen. Even if it is branding, Dame has the right idea about establishing his brand as compassionate, friendly, and fun. But I think that's just him, a kid who finally has the means to affect positive change.
